In this article I have brought the YouTube Blue APK that has many added features on top of the stock one. In addition this app gives you more control on how you use the YouTube app on Android.
The stock YouTube app available on an Android phone (or on the Play Store) has few drawbacks for example if you minimize the app while you watch any video it stops playing, it does not allow PIP etc.
This YouTube Blue solves the above mention problem and some of its feature make this as a good video player.
Let’s look at the features of the YouTube Blue App in detail in the next section.

Features of the YouTube Blue APK
When everyone uses something that becomes the standard even if it has limited features. The same goes with the default YouTube app that comes pre-installed on an Android phone.
It does not allow you to remove ads, does not play videos if you minimize the app etc. Well, the YouTube Blue APK is an app that is designed to add some more missing features over the stock app.
Below are the features available on the YouTube Blue app:
- It does not show ads on any video
- Allows you to minimize the app while playing the video
- Plays the YouTube video in a PiP mode (helpful if you want to watch video while chatting with someone etc.)
- Slider configuration to control Brightness from the video screen
- You can repeat a video to play again and again (not available on stock YouTube app)
- Built-in dark theme
- Configurable double tap to sleep
- Change country of watching (useful to watch restricted videos)
Android 11 Compatibility of YouTube Blue
I have a Samsung phone which was recently updated to One UI 3.0 which is based on Android 11 and suddenly the 13.46.51 version of the YouTube blue app asked me to update.
So, I have updated the app to version 14.21.54 which now works on Android 11 as well.
I have also added the above latest version in the download page. Make sure you download the latest version of the YouTube Blue app which is 14.21.54 and if it does not work, then only try the older version 13.46.51.
Basically this YouTube Blue app is a themed variant of the YouTube Vanced APK which was originally developed by an individual developer.
As this is a modified version of YouTube, this is not available on Google Play Store to download.
You can only download the YouTube Blue APK from the above link.
